New York Charter Proposals For Mayor And City Agencies
The New York charter commission recommends a ten year residency for mayor and a salary of 25000.

Street cleaning would end as a separate department and streets come under street control. The board of education would be reduced to 15 members and the coroner's duties moved to the health department.
